Resizing a kilt involves carefully adjusting the waist, hip, and sometimes seat measurements to ensure a proper fit, while preserving the structure and pleating. Here’s how we professionally resize a kilt:
- Assess the fit – We check how much needs to be taken in or let out by measuring you and comparing it to the kilt’s current dimensions.
- Adjust straps and buckles – In many cases, repositioning the straps can fix minor sizing issues without altering the fabric.
- Alter the waistband – For larger adjustments, we may open the waistband, take in or let out the fabric, then reattach it neatly.
- Rework the pleats (if needed) – If the change is significant, we adjust the pleats to maintain balance and symmetry across the back.
- Final pressing and finish – We press the kilt and check all detailing to ensure it looks as good as new.
Because kilts are tailored garments, proper resizing requires skill — which is why we offer a professional kilt resizing service to get the perfect fit without compromising the craftsmanship.
